Nothing, I hope.
So Debian are threatening to dump gnokii.
Who cares?
Yet another reason not to run Debian.

I followed an earlier discussion where Debian were threatening to dump TeX
because Knuth had made a condition (15 years before Debian existed)
that one should not alter tex.web but rather make changes in the file tex.ch .
Apparently Debian thought better of it,
as TeX still seems to be bundled with Debian.

Anyway, I hope Pavel Kot will not waste a lot of time on this,
as he is doing a huge job extremely well,
and this gammu character seems to have been going through gnokii
with a tooth-comb to see what "offences" he can uncover.

Personally, I would not touch gammu with a barge-pole after this.
